Locals love the Willamette Mountain Mercantile for its philosophy: community first. The Mercantile has always put treating people right ahead of all else. They treat everyone through the door with respect, helping them to find the best the area has to offer. As the area’s only bike shop they have helped to provide many of the area youth with affordable or free bicycles, and are always loaning out tools to those in need. And everyone loves the little black dog, Buddy, who is there to greet you at the door when the owner is in.
